		To understand what a win by their own club means to a Virtus or Fortitudo fan is something that has escaped many students of the various competitive games.
		Bologna has been able to handle even notable upsets and replace those who “abdicated” with fresh forces of an ability that left their predecessors forgotten.
		Because, in analysing the phenomenal march of the Bologna fl and whites one discovers that there have been two (!!) team managers - Bucci and the current Ettore Messina, to deliver twelve years of trophies, and that there were also two chairman before the current Madrigali.

		The addition of Virtus was a coup for the new Euroleague as the club had as much prestige as any in Europe, having won the FIBA EuroLeague as recently as 1998.
		The bond to Virtus is even stronger for ULEB because in the very first Euroleague competition, Argentinian star Emanuel Ginobili, now one of the leading players in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, led the Bologna team to the inaugural Euroleague crown.
